The black Library is blog dedicated to the miniature war gaming hobby, specifically the warhammer 40,000 universe and it's associated games. Mainly focussing on the modelling and painting aspect of the hobby it will also feature game reports as my miniature army's do combat on the tabletop battlefields.

Dakka Painting challenge: The bounty hunters

Atticus and Menos are finished, I am very happy with how they turned out. I went for a darker overall look to them both and I also gave Menos a servo skull? I figured the servo skull would act as a spotter seeking out a bounty in a crowded market place or something similar. I went for a wood grain effect on Menos' antiquated auto gun and gave Atticus a battered appearance to his shield.

I also managed to get a couple of games of necromunda in with a friend today to get used to the rules before we migrate over to inq28, I have to say it was a blast. Once you pick up the basics it plays really quickly and hand to hand combat is brutal! We are going to start putting together our war bands using the inq28 roster sheets so watch this space for some bat reps in the near future.

I have been into war games since the early 90's. After purchasing an MB/GW collaboration called Battle Masters for my birthday, I was hooked! A few months later I found my fathers old rtb01 marines, a few metals including terminators and a ton of fantasy, I was sucked into the universe of 40k completely. I love everything about it, but I think that it is the rich background which keeps me hooked. Warhammer is a unique thing, and limitless in its potential.
